ing that the pig has been properly fed, for you
cannot have the best bacon from q garbage fed
beast, we will take as example a ten score
pounds plg-that is, weighing 200 pounds-and
then the quantities can be regulated according
to weight. Sprinkle covering of salt over
each piece, and lay them in tub where they
will remain for "A hours. Take out and pour
away the brine that has been made. Next
powder about half pound OF salspetre, and
rub thinly over the pieces, thus giving an
extra dose of the saltpetre at the openings. Then
rub In about one pound of brown sugar. and
follow with q moderate dose of salt. Lay the
pieces into the tub, and sprinkle a little salt
over each. Take them out every alternate day,
and give them a rub over with the brine that
will be found Ia the bottom OF the tub, and in
quitting them back reverse the positions OF the
pieces, so as to bring each 10 the bottom in
turn, one time with the sward down, the next
wi the sward up. The flitches shcula remain
in the tub week, the shoulders a fortnight, and
the hams three weeks. | am writing of a 200
pound pig, and larger or smaller ores must be
Hated accordingly. When finally taken
cut, wash the bacon with an almost dry cloth
dipped in water, wipe dry, sprinkle little oat-
meal over it, and hang up to the kitchen ceiling
to dry. When there ars openings IN the
shoulders and hams at The shanks, etc, dust

when dry, hang them there; and no iuIt1er
precauiion is needed, for flies will not enter

IN SORROW.

when thou art sorrowful and cares around
Crowd fast upon tho steps of happier days;
When thou boliev'st brightest things Car
The saddest echo to the gayest lays
As men OF old were fed with angel food,
Go, seek thy remedy In doing good,
When those to thee dearest shall have died,
And each fresh day grows weary to thine
eyes;
When every hope that others build upon
Comes to thy senses with a sad surprise
AZ, Take up the burden OF another's grief;
Learn from another's pain thy woes re-
lief.
Mourner, believe that sorrow may be brlbed
With tribute from the heart, nor signs, nor
tears,
But nobler secrifices-of helping hanGs,
OF cheering smiles, of sympathetic ears,
OFT have the sadder words the sweeter
strain;
In angels music let thy soul complain.
Then Grief shall stand with half avcrted foot
Upon the threshold OF brighter day:
And Hope shall take her sweetly by the hand
Aud both kncel down with Faith to meeky
Lifted from earth, Peace shall immor-
talize.
The heart that its own anguish purifies.

! injurious effects to fruit Of trees"
Philbrick believes that soaking seeds, as
rule, does more harm than good. He says
1.-THE only chemical stuff, that have proved
useful, so far as know, are the blue yitri0l to
destroy germs OF smut, strvchnine to destroy
crows ana blackbrds and smearing of tar on
corn-seed for protection from these BIRDS"
William Crozier, New York, says: 81 esti-
mate the average value OF nangel for feeding
stock to be "a per ton, or Sl2O per acre two
$50 per acre. The seed, manure and cultiva.
ton of crop of mangels need not exceed $50
per acre at the utmost, leaving clear profit of
$40 per acre over the labor"
Cattle should not DO permitted to feed on clio.

hardly be able to develope in full vigor il this

Craze on it late in the autumn, as this renders
very liable to winter killing.
It is recommended to steep dried clover IN
hot water till swollen and soft, and then feed 1t
to fowls in cold weather. Fowls require green
food, and this stepped clover is the best subst.
tute FIR green grass. Give them the water in
which it was stepped TO drink. The clover
should first be passed through hay cutter and
cut into very short lengths before STEPPING.
In horse breeding 1t is important that the

"COME BACK, DEAR DAYS"

Come back, dear days, from out the past
IL see your gentle ghost arise,
You look at me with mOurnful eyes,
And then the night Crews vague and vast:
You have gone back to Paradise.
Why did you feet away, dear days7
You were so welcome when you came
The morning skies were all aflame,
The birds sang mathis in your praise,
All else Of life you put to shame.
Did not honor you Alright
i who but lived to see you shine,
Who felt your very pain divine,
Thanked God and warmed me in your light,
Orquaffed your tears as they were wine ?
What wooed you to these stranger Skies
What love more fond, what dream more
fair,
What music whispered in the air.
What soft delight of smiles and signs
Enchanted you FROM otherwherc
You left no pledges when you WENT
The years since then are bleak and cold,
No bursting buds the Junes unfold.
While you were here my all spent;
Now am poor, ard sad, and old.

A plaster cast which has become soed may
be made as fresh and white % when new by
spreading starch paste over it with soft brush.
The starch dries. and in scaling off brings with
it all the impurities.
The most healthful temperature for the hu-
man body to live IN, says writer in the Scien
tific American, Is about 100 Fahrenheit. The
more rooms that are kept heated in house,
the less draughts will be found. Especially
heat the halls; it will not take rnueh more coal /,
and will avoid forcing your heaters or stoves,
and enable you TO keep easy fires.
The tartar which so generally aceumulates at
the back of the teeth, forming often a thick
crust, may speedily and effectualiy be removed
by brushing it with soft brush dipped in fresh
flour OF birthstone. After few applications
the tartar will crumble away.

Glover fsaatura.

An acre Of clover, rightly handled with other
feed, will winter doz,n hogs. It should be
well cured, run through the cutter and cut fair
ly fine, and cooked with potatoes, turnips, ap.
pies, etc, into slop. It is good feed and II
fed rightly will bring the hogs in excellent con-
dtion. Glover is an excellent summer feed for
hogs, and hogs will thrive as we'll on 1t as on
any other feed In the world. Give the hogs a
small range so they will not run Oft the fish,
not over five acres, and better not more than
three, and turn in just enough hogs so the clo-
yer will not get enough start to mature. The
number Of hogs will depend, of course, on tho
growth Of the clover. There should be plenty
OF water, running water Is always the best. If
the weeds start sheep will eat them, and II the
pasture IL too much for the hogs the cattle or
horses will be pleased to assist In keeping it
down. If grass Is used for pasture it must be
kept green and juicy. As socn as it begins to
grow dry it is useless for hogs, as is also true
OF the clover. A few acres of rye to turn them
on IN the early spring will not hurt them.

In relation to failures In the care Of fowls, the
Dakota Farmer says:
When the poultryman has made his prepare
lions and began his operations, he Is often dis
appointed at not receiving fair return in eggs
for the attention and care bestowed. The msj-
ority OF failures arise with those who havo Civ
en- the fowls all they can eat, and, with liberia
supply OF ground oyster shells, ground bone,
gravel, fresh water and green food, no eggs re-
ward the perseverng poultryman. The cause
OF failure IS that the hens are overfcd. 1t Is al.
ways mistake to keep food before them, and
though variety should he given, care must be
exercised not to feed them full meal except at
nighr. II the food Is so given that the hens will
not be satisfied with the quantity they have re.
ceiyed they will hunt for more, and keep busily
at work. This avoids idleness and prevents
them from pulling feathers or becoming too tat.
In the morning Il so.. food may be given, but
1t is best not to give quite enough rather than a
full allowance. Then scatter a few grains In
cut straw, dirt or litter, aud let them get to
work scratching. AT night give a full meal.
BY keeping the hens warm, busy and In moder-
ate condition they will hay well.

Clean Seed,

Clean seed is something not easily obtainable.
More pastures or grass crops are injured by
foul seed than by any other mistake that can be
made. 1t is not a pleasant task to clean grass
seed, and there are but few crops grown for
seed that are free from weeds or undesirable
grasses. The same may be true of the wheat
crop, the ground occupied by which Is to be de-
voted to grass. The risk is, therefore, greater,
for If the farmer be so fortunate as to secure
clean grass seed be may not have been so sue
cessful with bis wheat seed. That is one reason
for using the harrow on wheat in the spring, as
it sometimes destroys early sprouting weeds
without ipjuring the wheat. In sowing grass
seed for permanent pasture, use the varieties
best suited to the climate and soil, and give
preference to artificial fertilizers rather than to
stable manure, as the latter may contain seeds
